I'm the tortoise.
Hey Everyone.
Been considering giving this a go for a while and finally started yesterday. I have 20lbs to lose, OH is also joining in, she has 55lbs to lose. Based on the calculator I'm to have 392 cal on my DownDays, but this seems ridiculously low, so I'm thinking, so long as I stay under 500 cal for the induction period, I'll be ok. I don't have the book yet, I ordered it from Amazon, it should be here by the weekend. I want to keep a record of my DownDays on here. OH eats pretty much same as I do on DownDays, so it'll count for her too.

Coffee = 18 cal
Coffee = 18 cal
Tesco Energy drink = 6 cal
1/2 pk Pombear Bakes = 55 cal
Asda Energy drink = 16 cal
Slimfast drink = 220 cal
Mushroom Stirfry Mix = 87 cal
Prawns (95g) = 59 cal
1/2 Veg Oxo = 9 cal
Total = 488 cal
Suggested DownDays = 392 cal (Me), 482 cal (OH).
We both feel pretty ok to be honest, not too hungry. I've worked out today, The Biggest Loser Game on the Wii, not sure if OH will be too.
The main reason for trying this and moving away from SW is that I've swopped jobs, I now work for McDonalds, and they feed me >.< I know I could say no, and I will have to on my DD's, but we enjoy food, a lot, and this is a way of not deprving ourselves. We obviously won't go overboard on our UpDays, since that defies the point of the Plan, but it takes away the guilt, something we struggle with.
We'll be weighing in every 8 days, since you should WI after a DD.
After WI next week I'll record our suggesed calories, but so long as we're doing ok, we'll be staying under 500.
